With a growing smile, Sierra tiptoes into the peaceful bedroom. Hope cracks one eye open and Sierra takes the opportunity to flop onto the bed, peppering kisses over her face as she bundles her up in her arms.

"Mom!"

"You're getting married today!" She tightens her arms around her daughter.

"Not if you keep squeezing," Hope chokes out.

Sierra reluctantly lets her go. She makes herself comfortable on her side and tucks some of Hope's hair behind her ear. It's mesmerising how much she looks like her father.

"You're already crying."

"Happy tears," Sierra promises.

"Are you gonna make it to the end of the day?"

"Yes."

"That didn't sound promising."

"This is all I ever wanted for you. A semi-normal life. Someone you can be yourself with. This is what I fought for."

Hope takes her hand. "Thank you."

Sierra kisses her forehead. "My beautiful girl."

Kaden comes into the room and drops his weight on the other side of Hope, caging her between them. He throws his heavy arms around her.

"My baby girl is getting married!" His voice booms.

"What is with you guys today?" Hope covers her ears. "I have at least five minutes before I need to get up."

"Five minutes of cuddles." Her mother snuggles up to her.

"Shouldn't you two be sorting things? I said you could take over with the decorations which you should be arranging right now."

"I hired a team to take care of it," Kaden mumbles into the pillow.

"You both begged me for a role."

They both shush her.

Exactly five minutes later Grayson appears in the doorway. "Alright people." He smacks his hands together and Hope jolts awake. "I have made a feast. Get off your asses before I eat it all."

"What've you made?" Hope rubs her eyes.

"Everything. Including a lovely cup of tea."

"Shut up." Sierra throws a pillow. He catches it with a chuckle, tossing it back onto the bed.

"Please hurry." He rests his arms against the doorframe. "We've got like thirty minutes before happy people start arriving and I hate my life." He outwardly cringes at the thought of so many people piling into the house.

"Come on baby." Kaden lifts her off the bed and carries her out of the room. Bride glitters on the back of her silk, white pyjamas.

Sierra slips her hand into Grayson's as they follow. The kiss he leaves on the top of her head is more than comforting.
